The entire American system of intelligence collection, rapid deployment, and logistics relies on the order the US and its allies created after 1945. No amount of additional military spending could ever match what our existing investments already provide. It’s an act of national suicide.

I think there's a point where you are so angry that you run out of mental space for fear, and I think a lot of Minneapolis and St. Paul were there, today.

"MUTE 'Nuzzi'" has failed me. (But these *are* the most poetic pair of posts I've stumbled upon thus far.) Involuntary fannish osmosis says the book was written on her phone? CANNOT DISCONFIRM.

True for a while! Younger boomers can tell you what warm feelings we had for Garrison Keillor. How nice to listen to the radio on Saturdays, his voice rolling out from Lake Woebegon. But when his sexual harassment came out, that was *if* - and his behavior felt *worse* because he'd been a favorite.

everything about this is iconic, from the hair to the shoulder pads to the reveal that she addresses herself as “bitch” to the absolute murder in her eyes in that first shot. that is a woman who homophobes would cross the street to avoid for fear of their life. absolute ally goals

A lot of y'all haven't heard about this wrinkle... ...which may kick almost 8 million older people off MediCARE as a result of cuts to MedicAID. (That's separate from how MedicAID pays for a big number of people in "nursing homes" - see my next skeet.) Check it out:

INBOX: Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is urging lawmakers to change the GOP-led “Big, Beautiful Bill” budget proposal, citing Pope Leo to argue that the bill “takes from the poor to give to the wealthy.” It’s the strongest language USCCB has used yet
